Go North East: Service Suggestions v2
(30 Aug 2021, 8:51 am)Keeiajs I go quite oftern 9am/11am/3pm/1pm/5pm and it is always not quiet but there is always atleast 3 stands free. So there is room for I would say all of GNE's services it would also make it easier to connect, for that instance I don't get the 39 to Doxford / 2 to Silkworth as I hate getting off a homeside, however when I walk to Park lane there is about 3 stands, (over maybe about 5 times pre covid)
Park lane interchange is just a waste of space, to far away from the shops in the city centre, the location was on favoured because of the metro connection and civic centre (which will be no more), should of built it on the other location which housing the old Debenhams store/multi storey car park, when passengers are carrying all there heavy shopping bags trailing up park lane to get to the bus station, stagecoach decided to pull out because of the fees for each bus entering the interchange and also the added minutes to the timetables to serve the interchange. Should knock down the shops on the north side of holmside to blandford street and use this area for a bus station. GNE should bring back the X6 serving Burdon road (museum), Holmside then interchange and vice versa, many passengers have missed getting off in the central area of town to do shopping when gne took that section off when the X6 was split from the x20.
About having a proper big bus station through Newcastle will not work as it will take a lot of prime real estate and won’t be worth the cost, and passengers prefer to use a bus service to get door to door service right on the main road than having to walk great distances to get to the bus station to get home, not everyone are a spring chicken
